Dr Maura Mast, Professor of Mathematics and former Dean at Fordham University, visited St Mary’s University College as part of her research into international Catholic higher education, focusing on how Catholic institutions collaborate, sustain mission and identity, and respond to contemporary challenges as agents of hope, justice, dialogue, and reconciliation.
